OPEN GOVERNMENT & STAT Transparency promotes accountability by providing the public with information about what the Government is doing. Participation allows members of the public to contribute ideas and expertise so that their government can make policies with the beneﬁt of information that is widely dispersed in society. Collaboration improves the effectiveness of Government by encouraging partnerships and cooperation across levels of government, and between the Government and private institutions.
